Founded in Vancouver, Canada in December 2006 as a way of sharing our knowledge and enthusiasm for the fountain pen hobby with others.

Meetings are *usually* held on the third Thursday of each month (with the exception of December) from 6:00pm-8:30pm but please check our website for meeting place info/schedule changes/updates. Both modern and vintage writing equipment enthusiasts are welcome!

It's not visible in the picture, but I also brought a knock-out block (used to remove feeds) to the meeting. It was given to me by Brian (a fellow VPC member who couldn't make it to the meeting), who taught me how to do most/all of the repairs I demo'd, when I was but a newbie to the wonderful world of vintage repairs. Brian, in turn, got the nib block from his pen mentor, the late Arthur Twydle, a respected pen repair expert from northern England. Arthur made the block himself; it works wonderfully and has a place of honour in my collection.
